Everlane

Know your factories. Know your cost. Always ask why. While this pledge sounds like a good idea for a thriving workspace, at San Francisco based fashion label Everlane, it is also a pledge to the customers. Five years ago Everlane founder Michael Preysman quit his job in venture capital to turn his passion for design and frustration with the lack of innovation in fashion into a transparent company.

Everlane combines a modern high quality collection for women and men with information about every factory in the supply chain as well as open calculations on production costs and mark-up. So as a customer you will always know where your new favourite sweater has been produced, and what the producer gained by knitting your cosy winter scarf. All of this is topped off with an immaculate sense for contemporary fashion trends that will last for more than one season. The colour range is carefully chosen and very much focused on the favourites: Black and White.
